These are actually great questions!! Can you solve them? The 2cm in the second question refers to the vertical length.
"Until September last year, I had never really gambled. I’d been to the dog tracks a few times when I lived in Manchester and once went to Aintree to watch the Grand National. Some of my friends would bet on the football, and I could see how it could add an extra dimension to watching the game. But I’d never got over the entry barrier posed by opening up an account and feeding in my credit card details. That was all about to change.
I had spent the summer working on “Soccermatics”, my book about maths and football, and decided to set myself one final challenge before I sent my draft to the publishers. I was going to take everything I had learnt about the mathematics of football and apply it to a real-life situation. I was determined to use maths to beat the bookies." This week's Student of the Week is Vlade G (I am so excited to see what photo of Vlade that Natasha T will send me. SEND ME ONE NATASHA!!!).
My memories of Vlade run the gamut from the sublime to the ridiculous. I think the easiest way to relate such disparate items is via another list!
This is a photo of the HIGH SCHOOL (Burnaby North) marching band that was taking part in the Hats Off Day parade down Hastings street in North Burnaby this weekend. They were followed by about 20 flag-wavers. Imagine if we tried to organize this at (tiny) KG!!?
